Front sector while the Republic
of Korea ROK soldiers dug in
deeper on the scarred slopes..
Allied artillery opened up, too,
in a huge, barrage answering a
Chinese bombardment earlier
Thursday in which 'the Reds
poured 30 shells a minute, at the
ROK positions on Capitol Hill.
300 Reds Killed
The U. S. Eighth Army com
munique reported 200 dead Chin
ese were counted on the muddy
slopes after the Reds were hurled
back in bitter, close-quartet in
fantry fighting Wednesday night
and early Thursday.
The communique said another
300 Reds were estimated killed—
raising estimated Communist
casualties in the Capitol Hill
fighting to at least 2700.
In graphic but brief detail, the
communique gave this account of
the Chinese assaults:
Fighting Hand-io-Hand
“An enemy company attacked
newly-recaptured Capitol Hill,
west of the Pukkan River, at
12:30 a.m., climbing up the north
slopes of the hill. A Chinese plat
oon came up from the west at
1:40 a.m.. but by 2:15 it was rain
ing and the Chinese were with
drawing.
“At 3:45 the enemy attacked
again, and came screaming at the
positions. Shortly they were
locked in hand-to-hand combat
with ROK Capitol Division troops
on the hill.
“At 4:35 a.m. the position was
reported surrounded with hand
-to-hand combat continuing.
Fighting continued until dawn
when the ROK troops came out
of their foxholes to bayonet the
Chinese down to the bottom of
the slope.”
Military Spending
Accounts Disputed
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (JP)—
Defense Department officials ex
pressed puzzlement but Robert
C. Turner, a new member of
President Truman’s Council of
Economic Advisers, stuck by his’
guns today on a statement that
military expenditures have vir
tually reached their peak.
A Pentagon spokesman said he
could recall no defense officials
making such an estimate. He told
a reporter it seems possible Turn
er may have been confused by
statements that military produc
tion would be set back by the
steel strike.

Orders End
Of Blockade
BERLIN, Sept. 11 (JP) —Soviet
Gen. Vassily Chuikov called off
today a blockade against move
ment of U.S. military police pa
trols over a strip of Soviet zone
highway between West Berlin
and an American checkpoint on
its outskirts.
The chief of the Soviet Control
Commission, to' whom U.S. High
Commissioner Walter J. Donnelly
protested yesterday, notified
American authorities of f i dally
that the three-day-old restrictions
had been lifted by his order.
Chuikov said the patrols hence
forth would be free to cross the.
strip—as they had. been doing
freely ,since . 1945 until Russian
tommy gunners put a stop to it
unexpectedly Monday night.
Detachments of American MPs,
along with British soldiers and
West Berlin police, serve eight
hour duty tours around the clock
on ' the autobahn in suburban
Dreilinden to check the-papers of
Allied motorists making the 100-
mile drive across the Soviet zone
to West Germany.
Their shortest, course from the
U. S. sector is by way of a mile
and a half stretch of the four
lane autobahn. Denied use of that,
they drove to work by a longer,
narrow detour through the U.S.
sector. Some British MPs also
were forced to make the detour.
Soviet sentries halted the morn
ing shift today. But they stood
aside at noon and again tonight
to let MP jeeps pass without
challenge.

HST Says Ike Wants
Isolationist Congress
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (JP) President Truman said today
that Dwight D. Eisenhower is proposing an election of a Republican
“isolationist Congress”—and he said that won’t bring peace.
Truman also said he thinks Eisenhower is wrong in believing
the desire for a change in government is uppermost in people’s
minds. What is uppermost Tru
man said, is a desire for peace.
The President’s weekly press
conference started off with an at
tack on what Truman called the
“one-party press” of this country,
a subject he has referred to fre
quently.
Attacks Press
Truman said newspapers edi
torially support the Republican
party because they “have become
big business, and big business
traditionally has been Republi
can.”
“I suggest that Americans-bear
this in mind,” Truman said, “and
add a dash of salt to every Re
publican helping of news, espe
cially in those many papers and
magazines which do not give a
fair balance of news between the
two major parties.”
A reporter said that during his
flying trip here yesterday Eisen
hower had said that the people
are more interested in a change
than in peace. What did the Pres
ident know about this?
Permitted Direct Quote
Truman said he doesn’t think
that is true. He said he thinks the
great thing every country in the
world is interested in is peace.
He said that that is what we have
been aiming at for seven long
years and he still hopes we can
get it. We won’t necessarily get
the sort of a change, the Presi
dent said, that the Republicans
are talking about.
He was asked if the words “iso
lationist Congress” could be quot
ed directly. Normally reporters
can’t use direct quotes on his an
swers to questions. Truman an
swered, yes, “isolationist Con
gress.”
As for the press, Truman be
gan his news conference by read
ing from a prepared statement.
The text of this later was made
available by the White House.

TAILORING
Spaak Elected
Schuman Plan
Assembly Head
STRASBOURG, France., Sept. 11
Paul Henri Spaak, Belgian So
cialist champion of European uni
ty, won the presidency of the
Schuman Plan Assembly over a
West German Christian Democrat,
38-30, today in a vote that reflect
ed both national and political
views.
The loser was Heinrich von
Brentano, a leader in the govern
ment party of West Germany’s
chancellor and foreign minister,
Konrad Adenauer.
Francois de Menthon of France
upset predictions in the lower
house of the six-nation European
steel and coal community and as
sured Spaak’s victory when he
withdrew from what had been
a three-man contest rather than
split the votes of the French
speaking delegates.
Although the ballots were sec
ret, it was learned that the eight
man ’ German Socialist delegation
helped put Spaak, a fellow So
cialist, in the chair rather than a
representative of Adenauer’s gov
ernmental party.
The assembly made -concilia
tory gesture to the Germans in
limiting Spaak’s tenure until next
May, rather than letting it run
to May, 1954. This gives the Ger
mans a chance to capture the post
next year.
